题目描述:
Given n non-negative integers a1, a2, …, an, where each represents a point at coordinate (i, ai). n vertical lines are drawn such that the two endpoints of line i is at (i, ai) and (i, 0). Find two lines, which together with x-axis forms a container, such that the container contains the most water.
Note: You may not slant the container.
题意理解:
有若干块木板位于坐标系中,找到两块与坐标系构成最大的面积。
解题思路:
最好的情况是最长的两块木板位于最外两端,那么很容易想到用两个指针分别指向数组两端,每次保留较长的木板,另一端靠近。
class Solution {
public:
int maxArea(vector<int> &height) {
int area, max=0;
int i=0, j=height.size()-1;
while (i<j)
{
area = (j-i)*min(height[i], height[j]);
if (area>max)
max = area;
else if (height[i]<height[j])
++i;
else
--j;
}
return max;
}
};
